Enclosures
Alzatex houses its products in enclosure styles from rugged waterproof boxes to elegant wood cabinetry that grace any decor. While many products are conveniently available in standard form factors, many other forms, colors and material thickness are available on request. Alzatex products can be free-standing, or attached to a surface, or mounted within a surface.
